MURFREESBORO - Coaches don't like to point to one football game as more important than another. But this week's homecoming matchup for Middle Tennessee might fit that bill.
The Blue Raiders (4-1, 2-0) welcome rival WKU (3-3, 1-1) to Murfreesboro in a clash of two teams who at the beginning of the season were predicted to compete for a Conference USA East division title.
"WKU is a really, really good football team, evident by the success they've had the last several years," MT head coach said. "I think it's a very talented group … we have to do a great job in preparation this week and get ready to play a very good football team.
